Malec, The Dark One, is the feared and respected ruler of the Dark Horde. He is evil incarnate and was once a prince in his native lands of Myst until war broke out in his kingdom. His desire for power brought him to Earth. Rejecting the rules of the High Council which forbade the crossing of realms, The Dark One learned how to enhance his power by immeasurable amounts and soon became the enemy of all life on Earth and the four realms.
